This little guy keeps begging for bread just about every day at the air port Cafe, you would think he was really starving.
Truth is, that Sparrows have to eat 5 times their body weight to live every day and I see one very fat little sparrow!
Some people look like a Sparrow but humans don’t burn up the calories like birds do, otherwise people would not survive, birds convert their fat in one go into CO2 and water. People do that in several stages and that is how we survive.
Birds have a different metabolism. However, a bird that over eats such as a budgie also dies of another type of obesity and liver damage.
Wild birds do well. Caged birds need proper vet nutrition…
Super shot. We have the most sparrows in our country.
Thanks Vidocka for your kind comments..
That’s the most common bird here and probably the only bird you will see in the city.
I think Sparrows are international and in every cafe in New Zealand are Sparrows begging for left overs…Thanks Alex.
Nice picture of a sparrow, dear Pamela
Thanks so much Lado for your kind comments.
With great pleasure, dear Pamela
You know how I feel about sparrows, they kill my bluebirds. But many like the birds.
Terrible thing to kill other birds. It was the nearest thing to a bird . Will try and find some other bird for the next photo closer to a Blue bird but not quite the same…
I love your Blue birds..Wish them every chance to populate where ever they are.
Thanks Carol
Innocent bird with pretty look.
Thanks so much Hina, glad you like it
Beautiful bird , thanks for sharing
thanks Witty Feeds pleased you like it.
We have a regular clientele of house sparrows on our bird feeders right through the year.
Yes, they know where the food is, thanks Indexer.
Some human beings are teased when they nibble and are compared to sparrows.
Yes, well that is also true, thanks Grace
